Anyone else have to do a repeat anatomy scan?

Question

My doctor and the technician told me my baby girl is perfect BUT, she was moving so much that they couldn’t get all of the pictures they needed. 
Even knowing this, I’m still a wee bit nervous and curious to know what happens if she’s super active again, will we have to do this more than twice? Also, the technician said she got 98% of what she needed, will the repeat be for just the 2% or another full scan? 
Mommas that have had to do a repeat anatomy scan... help!? 😅

Answer

The tech couldn’t get photos of our babies heart, he was head down spine up. His spine was In the way. They rescheduled for two weeks later & he was still in that spot LOL. They were able to get photos through my ribs. The photos has slight shadows from my ribs but they made it work

Answer

Yep, just to check her lips. Shes the queen and feels like she shouldn't be bothered at all. 😂😭😍 So she wasn't cooperating and decided to hide most of the time and kept moving away from us.

Answer

I have to go Monday for a repeat scan since my little one had an Echogenic bowel at the one I had Friday April 26th. I have complete placenta previa and had one occasion of bleeding so I’m thinking my little one swallowed a little bit. I did get the non invasive prenatal testing done and everything came back low risk so it’s just process of elimination from here to see what’s going on

Answer

Yes! Couldn’t get the measurements of the fluid and the gender

Answer

I had a repeat ultrasound because they couldn't get great photos of the baby's heart and spine. I freaked out with worry (legit sobbing)....... It's hard not to think something is wrong! But I posted something similar and 10+ people said it's totally common to have to follow up. I had my follow up yesterday, she only needed a few photos, so we got to spend the rest of the time just staring at baby!! I have heard people going back multiple times if baby is still too active or still curled up. I think they would tell you if something was actually wrong. Good luck Mama!

Answer

I have to go back in June and get more scans of the baby's heart. 2 techs and a Dr tried and couldn't get the pictures they needed. The Dr said everything looked good but they want to make sure they don't miss anything.

Answer

I had my 2nd scan last week. The first time they couldn't get a good view of the heart since she was moving so much. The second time I went in for the scan they got all the shots they needed and did a slight repeat of the first one since she was much calmer this time.

Answer

This happened with my son during my first pregnancy. It’s totally normal. They just need to try again so they can double check everything is okay and their numbers without a complete scam can make baby look way under developed. It’s scary but it’ll all be better next time. Usually they start with what they missed the second time.

Answer

Yes everything is perfect but she moved so much. Lol. So I’m nervous she’s gonna do the same because she does it every ultrasound this one is longer this time

Answer

I’m going back for a second scan this week- need pictures of the heart and face. I was told to expect the scan to go for the full hour, as they’ll track growth as well.
